Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir’s preferred bowler Harshit Rana has also not made it to Rahane’s list. However, the biggest surprise is the omission of Shami, who has been one of India's most successful bowlers in ODI World Cup history. Earlier, Virat Kohli was snubbed as Ajinkya Rahane picked himself in the all-time India Test XI.
Rahane said in a video posted by Sony Sports on Saturday, "Pehla Bumrah, no doubt. Second Arshdeep Singh, third Prasidh Krishna, fourth Mohammed Siraj, fifth Mayank Yadav.”

Arshdeep Singh has already played 18 ODIs for India, and the left-arm pacer scalped 30 wickets at an impressive economy rate of under 6. He is already India's highest wicket-taker in T20Is, with 148 wickets in 101 games. However, Mayank Yadav is yet to make his ODI debut for India.
Mohammed Shami, Harshit Rana, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar left out
Ajinkya Rahane also did not pick Harshit Rana, despite the young fast bowler being one of head coach Gautam Gambhir's trusted players. Rana made his international debut during the Perth Test against Australia in November 2024. Since then, he has represented India in all three formats.
